Display local weather, fetched from weather.noaa.gov. Mostly I'm learning Rust.

Displays the local weather information. Mostly I'm playing with Rust.

Build

You need to have Rust (incoming branch), then just rustc rweather.rs to build it.

Usage

From the command line: rweather <code>

The code is any code that weather.noaa.gov will return a value for. Try your local ICAO airport code. In the US it's your normal airport code prefixed with a K, e.g. KLAX for Los Angeles, KSFO for San Francisco, etc. In Canada it's the airport code prefixed with a C - CYVR for Vancouver.

Example:

You type: rweather CYVR

Output:

Vancouver International Air-Port, B. C., Canada (CYVR) 49-11N 123-10W 2M

If you actually want something that does this for long term usage, I'd recommend weather-util, which is in Ubuntu repos.
